Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the incident rendered him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
